#Mwnt Foxgloves. I loved this almost perfect Welsh beach since I first went there in 1974 and I've painted it many times. Boom! This #painting is a whack in the face with colour, lines and shapes using watercolour, crayons & gouache. It's available here: buff.ly/umJ8nkX £165 inc P&P to UK

Goodbye old travel palette. You were my trusty companion for 27+ yrs, coming with me to 5 continents. But you are cracked, broken & your time is over. Hello new travel #palette. You hold 20 pans & our future together is as bright as the colours you contain. #painting #artists #art

This morning I nipped over to The #Oxfordshire Museum in #Woodstock and was treated to a sneak preview of the Open Art Competition #Exhibition (starts tomorrow) in which my #painting "Best of British" is is being shown. It's been "highly commended" by the judges! 😀 @oxonmuseumservice.bsky.social

I thought you might like to see some pages from my #sketchbook of my recent journey through the #Balkans. It was a whistlestop tour through #Croatia, #Montenegro, #Serbia and #Bosnia so there wasn't a lot of time to draw. But I managed to squeeze a few sketches out anyway. #art #travels #painting

Saw this brilliant #painting at the gallery in #Edinburgh by #Landseer. A bunch of Nobs demonstrating their selfish bullying & entitled greed. The look on the Highland pony's face says it all... resignation, burden, enslavement, sadness. Even the dogs look fed up. #arthistory #animalpainting #art

Last week I went to #Edinburgh to meet up with darling friends, made 42 years ago at the now defunct #BrettonHallCollege. Together we had a good poke about in the National Galleries of #Scotland to see some cracking paintings, including this beastie, Landseer's 'Monarch of the Glen' 😀 #arthistory

Following my illness, as Paul McCartney sang on 'Sgt. Pepper's' I'm "getting better, a little better all the time." What's your favourite #Beatles album? I'm a sucker for Abbey Road omitting Octopus's Gdn & Maxwell's SH, obvs. Here's a detail from my 2016 map of British #RockMusic to amuse you.

We snatched VICTORY from the jaws of DEFEAT! I'm not talking about the footy but about last night's #LifeDrawing... for the 1st time ever the model didn't turn up. So we drew each other (clothed, obvs). Now I have a new respect for all life models! #Eynsham #Oxfordshire #art

We had another cheeky trip to #Pembrokeshire last weekend. I managed to get out onto the coastal path to do some quick sketches. And joy of joys, it wasn't brain-fryingly hot. Don't you just love a sea breeze? Pic 1 #Mwnt, Pic 2 sketching #Dinas Head. #visitWales

Ten years since the Brexit referendum. 😭 😡 I couldn't help pouring out my anger and frustration in this #painting: 'Brexit Forecast'. All those personal rights and freedoms lost. Self-inflicted economic decline. I still feel robbed. Yes, I still hate #Brexit. No, I can't get over it. #rejoinEU

I spotted this fabulous #postbox #topper outside the PO in #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire celebrating the #WorldCup. The details are superb! I especially love the hairstyles of the multi-ethnic footballers, and the little bells on the bunting. Some very talented person had immense fun making this!👏

I'm absolutely GUTTED to hear artist #DavidHockney's time is up. He's been an inspirational figure in my life. In 2012 we did a tour of East Yorkshire, looking for some of the 'ordinary' landscapes he painted. Here's just one. "End Bossiness Soon" THANK YOU for being you! #art #painting

Whenever we go to #Pembrokeshire (that's every year), one of the places we ALWAYS visit is nearby #PentreIfan. It's the remains of a #Neolithic tomb, built 5,000 years ago and is surely Pembrokeshire's finest ancient monument. It's an old friend to me now. #ancientstonebothering

We are off on our hols tomorrow for our annual trip to #Pembrokeshire. It delights us with its seabirds, beaches, dramatic cliffs, ancient monuments & temperate rainforests. It inspires my #painting! We always stay at @bancyreithin.bsky.social - recommended if you want peace, comforts & paradise!

All the birds are now painted in on my #penguins #painting. But it's a still a #workinprogress. Each bird needs contrast on its white front to reveal it fully. This is the bit of this painting I've been simultaneously excited by and dreaded...it could all go horribly wrong... *gulp!* #birds #art

Last night in #Eynsham, #lifedrawing. It exposes not just the model, but the naked truth about an artist’s abilities. The excruciating doubt I sometimes feel as an artist is lifted when I'm drawing; I prove to myself that I CAN do it. That's me at the very end w/ my bro @paultomlinson.bsky.social
